I'm going to try too! I love Tiny Wings!

 

[PedroRVD]

argh! got 542.7 and it was not posted :/

I took a picture, should we post the pictures at the end of the competition right?

I hope to beat that score though hehe.

 

[Wario64]

I'm sorry guys

 

[PedroRVD]

aaaarrrgghh...that was my last try for today, I'm furious.

Yes in case that'll be yout highscore I'll need you to post it to me, it's gotta be (like I say in the Rules) in-game when you die (not on the Game Center app or the local highscore list).

 

[Dash Kappei]

aaaarrrgghh...that was my last try for today, I'm furious.

If it doesn't register I'm asking for you guys to take the screenshot of course which will serve as evidence later on but to keep the score aside for the time being and stick to only scores which have been registered.

Only on the last day we'll go through with highscores which haven't been locked by Game Center.

tl;dr
For now only post screens of highscore which are visible on Game Center.

 

[PedroRVD]

got it

btw, it is so frustrating how a single mistake on Island 8 can ruin everything.

Holy hell you guys are good at this game. Super happy we could work with NeoGAF to offer this. I downloaded Tiny Wings probably over a year ago and I am AWFUL at it, but this is inspiring me to try harder. Haha.

Hey man thanks for helping make this happen

[Wario64]

I've actually beaten personal record highs already just solely going for distance, and funny enough getting the last few achievements, almost have the last nest unlocked, hah


p.s. my score is 573 m

I purchased it when it came out. It was a fun enough little game. Didn't really hold my interest though because I found it a bit too repetitive.

I thought your score really was 900 something with my late night thread reading. I was like WTF? But that is a lot more like it Great score, but I think I can have a crack at that.

 

[smokeymicpot]

I'm in.

Welcome aboard Brian! This right here is the man we have to thank for getting us DAT PRIZE!

Btw, if you head over this thread here

You'll find plenty of fresh impressions on the game, people are going crazy with the IGN codes lol

 

[Dash Kappei]

MORE prizes incoming!

See? Never give up, never surrender

 

[Dash Kappei]

I want to congratulate the people that made this possible...it's the first time I play seriously on my iPhone since 3GS.

My runs were not being posted on Game Center but it got fixed turning off and on the iPhone. Sadly that annoying bug of not being able to go back from the options menu is still there. Every time I check the leaderboards I have to close the app to be able to play again.

Thanka you, I'm really glad you're enjoying it that much

To avoid the crash, if you want to check the leaderboards do it through the Game Center app itself instead using of in-game GC.

Just got 576m only for it not to save again! Grr

 

[AngryMoth]

570, so close!

 

[Conor_Fool]

Hey guys!

Re-Bought Tiny Wings and just friended you, Dash. My name in GameCenter is C-Law I think, except it has the ~(C-Law)~ around my name and hopefully I didn't do that myself... Just makin sure I don't need to change my name or anything

Lets go! (my high score is under 500...)

EDIT: I have some questions...

- is there a certain amount of time for each game? Or does it vary with how well you are doing?
- does anyone have any useful hints besides just practicing? I can't get past lvl 8 : /

EDIT: I have some questions...

I don't get what you're asking me exactly... I just checked and your handle on GameCenter is ~(C-Law)~
It also shows your proper name (Connor...) to friends since you haven't changed that.
So, strangers see ~(C-Law)~ while friends get to see Connor (etc.).

- is there a certain amount of time for each game? Or does it vary with how well you are doing?
- does anyone have any useful hints besides just practicing? I can't get past lvl 8 : /

- well there's the night trying to catch you and it gets closer with each missed slide and faster with each island
- I've yet to do a proper run, just tried one game today, sorry...

 

[dr3upmushroom]

Just got 569! Haven't played in months too. Going for distance is a lot less stressful than score. There's been a few times where I'll miss doing a slide perfectly but not lose speed. If I was going for score I'd have to start over.

 

[Koodo]

Tiny Wings is nawt my friend.

Any tips on how to avoid coming to a complete halt on those bumpy sections? Help me clock your score!

Pretty much just practice. Some people think that the islands are randomized but they're not. Obviously you're not going to memorize the game but you'll get used to the shapes of the swoops that are giving you trouble.

I just posted 620.5. Don't think I'm going to pass that by much.

 

[Dead Prince]

wish i can participate but can't find my ipod.

 

[PedroRVD]

563.1 !!!!

Was not posted to GC !! But I have a picture

The islands are not always the same...it looks like they get randomized after some hours. This night I got completely different islands than what I got in the morning.

The colors change, not the shapes though.

 

[PedroRVD]

Believe me, I played for 3 hours in the morning and I pretty much had a strategy for each island...I'm sure the shapes were different now.

But I may be crazy...let's see what others say.

 

[toythatkills]

The colors change, not the shapes though.

The shapes do change, 100%. They change every day at midnight. The thing is, they don't change drastically, and each island has a kind of theme, so island 4 will always have the same kinds of steep hills on it, but they'll be slightly differently laid out.

I promise you I've played a hell of a lot more than 3 hours.

Not sure why your strategy fell apart. It's pretty impossible to follow the same line every time though, I'm guessing you just hit different valleys at the beginning of the islands and that made them seem different.

Huh, maybe I stand corrected. I'd be curious to see this confirmed though, the islands always seem the same to me. For example island 2 has some really awkward hills that are hard to get through while in fever, 3 has a bunch of tiny bumps at the end, the beginning of each island always feels exactly the same, etc.

If they do change they follow their themes very closely.

On the note of learning new things about the game, I just found out that if you double-tap while going between islands you do a backflip. Don't know how I missed that for so long.

Mind.Blown. :O

Mind.Blown. :O

Wow

Also dash, thanks for keeping the entertainment going on twitter

 

[Flunkie]

I've never liked Tiny Wings simply based on the fact that I run into the same wall around island 5/6 every single time and can never do better. It just seems luck based after that.

I can only get to island 9...I wonder what the record is?

 

[iceatcs]

Join the challenge but it is my first time on Tiny Wings. No way I will get a good score that soon, also not good at rhythm. Doing for hey fun.

 

[PedroRVD]

I wonder if somebody has reached past Island 9 ...last night I got there with more than half the day gauge, did two great slides to start, I got so nervous thinking "great! I will finally see Island 10!" ...then the slopes got ridiculous and then higher and higher...it looked impossible and...game over

Mind blown at that backflip trick!

 

[dr3upmushroom]

I can only get to island 9...I wonder what the record is?

I got to island 10 when I set my current score, it was really close though. I fell asleep on island 9's slide a few times yesterday and then finally barely made it to 10. I imagine it's probably possible to hit 11 if you play perfectly.

 

[bonesquad]

I thought maybe after not playing nearly a year this time Tiny Wings would click with me. Nope. I'm still horrible at this thing. I have this terrible habit where for some reason I think my screen's pressure sensitive so I keep pressing really, really hard... I'm afraid for my screen's safety.

 

[Dash Kappei]

[Dash Kappei]

Nope. You're TOP5 tho!

 

[Goli]

I never seem to be able to get past the 7th island. ): Oh well.
Also I'm really surprised at all the support this has gotten from various devs and such O:.

 

[Gamecocks625]

Got 563.7.....on Tiny Wings HD

 

[MThanded]

OH lord. I have to break this game out again.

 

[PittaGAF]

I'm absolutely not a competitive type of person (plus I generally suck at high scores games) but I signed in and I'm having ton of fun.
Plus...I rediscovered Tiny Wings, which is still a damn cute awesome game.

Thanks to everyone involved!!!

 

[DukeSucks]

Totally expect to be near the bottom again, but still have fun in these challenges. Thanks Dash!

And at least I learned the cool backflip trick! (which apparently only works on the iphone version)

 

[theytookourjobz]

You guys are much better than me at this! Should be fun though!
